A considerable number of the demo-
Gratis of Yankton, with perhaps more
zeal than the circumstances call for,
have formulated an address to the gov
ernor protesting against his choice OF
insane hospital trustees. Their criticism
lies against the Yankton members OF tie
board and more especially the two re-
publlcans who form minority OF that
organization. The address, or petition,
embodies charges which are based more
upon common report than actual evil
dence and which unsustained are hardly
admissible i'll 81 high court as the one
appealed to. The members of the board
upon whom this document reflects,
the two who are now IN the city, make
general denial of the allegations present.
ed and say they can readily Sustain their
denial If the opportunity is given. They
have already asked for an investigation
of the affair of the hospital and will
make additional efforts to induce the
authorities to favor them with an ex-
animation. they state that the hospital
and its business is open at all times to the
public and that the democrats who pro-
test against the gubernatorial appoint
ments can atany time prosecute an in
vestigation if they SO desire. The docu-
ment forwarded to Governor Church is
directed more against the two republican
members Of the board than the board as
a whole, though the democratic mem
ber comes mildly under its structures, It
can therefore be looked upon as po-
litical document, though its willingness
to sacrifice one democrat in an effort to
tset aside two republicans would datract
somewhat from its political Significance,
were it not that the petition itself ex-
poses motive purely political in spite
of the expressed desire to slaughter a
| democrat. The concluding sentence oil
the paper to Governor Church reci.as
that the one Yankton democrat on the
board has announced his favor for the
present management of the hospital aud
this places him on the same platform
occupied by the republican members
The one democrat and the two repub,
licans constitute majority of the board
1t is the undisguised desire OF the
petitioners to displace all the hospita
officials and many of the subordinates
and fill their places With democrats
This they find they cannot accomplish
through the board as reorganized by Gov
ernor Church and they are therefore de
sirous of overturning that organization
The unpreiudiced public is not prepared
to favor any change in hospital manage
ment, as there is wide spread convic-
tion that it is now in the hands of com
lpetent officers. Hence the motive be
hind the petition vii
not engender general gym
| pathy. A change merely for the sake o
political reward and political punishment
would not be popular. The petition t
the governor may be put down as
purely partisan effort and as such it
charges and specifications are robbed {
/. any Significance they might otherwis
possess. The governor has appointe
the hospital board and the council ha
confirmed his appointments and it is nc
i probable thst either will care to und
the work with no better excuse than
political one.

To the voters of 4ankton.

To the Voters of NanISt0n.
The undersigned. acting under in
struotions from the citizens committee,
submit to the electors of Yankton the
following statement of the reasons which
induced the nomination OF the ticket
now before the public:
There has been for some time q very
generally expressed feeling that in the
election of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel
ing has been increased and inteneiied
by the evident Tad results, in some
recent oases, produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. 1t is be-
lieved that intelligent men Of all parties
are unanimous in the opinion that char
scter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter
mine the selection of officers to admin
lister our local affairs. Manifestly there
is need, at all times, in the conduct of
CITY affairs, of integrity, prudence,
sagaolty and enterprise, qualities which
arc uOU luSUT6u al bE6 iuuitluuHl
aspirant' for Office, by the fact
that he has large political following.
These considerations are especially for
oible at this time, when our city gov
ernment is liable to be called upon to
deal with questions of great commercial
Importance to us all. At such time we
can not afford to assume any risk that
the important interests of this communi.
ty may be committed to hands that are
either feeble or untrustworthy.
Acting upon these reasons, an honest
effort has been made to avoid that risk
by putting in nomination a ticket, in
support OF which all can unite, and
which carries upon its face the assurance
of e wise snd public spirited administra-
tion of public affairs in the ensuing
year.

Mild Weather Checking Trade-A Firm Tone
Prices Still Noticeable.
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 8.
Trade was rather quiet to-day, the weather
being too surnmer-like in character to create
brisk demand for the articles most used in
winter-iike weather. such weather as one begins
to look for in November, yet the volume of
trade in most departments, all things considered,
is quite satisfactory. Dry goods men report
their business as keeping up admirably, and
with this a strong tone to prices. Wooden
goods are meeting with good sale at firm prices.
Notwithstanding the tameness in the wool mar
ket. Sales of wool in Boston. one of the lead
ing markets. last week, were 2, $50 900 pounds
against l., 714.s6S pounds the previous week, and
., 2S4, 500 pounds the same time last year Total
sales since Jan. !, 1887, have been 81, 704, $40
pounds, against 127, 800. 724 pounds the same
time last year-a decrease of 81, 61S, 1s4 pounds
Grocers fairly busy. Coffees steady and
6rmer than last week, while sugars still have
upward tendency, the bulls evidently having
the market well in hand. The produce men
complain a little. People slow in laying in
their winter supplies when the weather is SO
cumulating. and apples decaying badly.
Eggs coming in more freely, but prices still
exorbitant Butter plenty and cheap. Real
choice sells, however, quite readily. Poultry
dull, arrivals large The hide market is more
active, but prices range in the rut of many
months past. Leather dealers having a

opening quiet. December wheat started
&c lower, at 72E a 73c, but grew stronger before
the frat hour of the session had expired ano al
vanced to 734c. This strength probably came as
much from indisposition to sell as from any

A few large operators were talking oullisn anu
buying little wheat any fractional decline.
Support of this description put the DECEMBER
option up to 721c by noon The tone during the
latter part of the session was somewhat easier
and the advance was all lost, December reacting
to 72a a 73c, and closing at 13c. Corn,
like wheat. took a double action to-day,
and after selling at from &c to &c, dropped of
about &c, and closed a shade lower than yester-
day. There fair demand for cash corn
and prices for futures went slowly up from the
start until noon, when the reaction on both
wheat and corn occurred. May sold from 40 a
455c up to 45s a 451c and down to 45sc to the
close. Oats were steady and rather firm. The
speculative trade was moderate and cash bust
very good. Prices were without much
variation from yesterdays quotations Fro
visions exhibited fair activity, but the volume
of business not especially large. Receipts
OF hogs were large and prices lower. This had
hog products and the market was easy for
a short time after the opening. Buyers took
hold OF pork freely January soon advanced
from Sl2 424 to sl2 60. Toward the close the
demand fell off, and a recession OF 10c was re-
corded. but the last sale shows gain OF DC,
January closing at Sl2 524. Lard advanced O25
a 05c, with moderate trading: offerings, how
ever, were limited: January sold at 6 323 a
6.374c. Short-ribs were traded in to a fair ex-
text at 627a a 6 35c for January, closing at $50
a 6 324c The leading futures ranged as follows.

The Oil Test for MIX.

Philadelphia Record.
1t has been but short time since the oil test
of the value of milk was adopted as the only COR
rect method of determining the amount of but
ter in milk and though experts were sanguine
that they had at last found easy and ready
means of detecting adulterared milk, recent
experiments on behalf of the Wiscor sin Dairy
mems Association have demonstrated that the
oil test docs not give correct measurement of
butter fat in milk. 1t was found that the oil of
the same cow or herd seemed disposed to self
emulsihcation on some days more than on others.
and took up water or whey IN some cases,
SO that four-pound cow seemed to become a
six pound COW in production. Two inches
of butter oil would expand to three
inches, from the amount of water it contained,
yet gave sign to the eye that it con tanned
drop of water. There was apparently more but
ter-fat in the measuring tubes than sample OF
gathered cream makes as the oil and water will
musifv much and as quickly with the oil of
croam as it will with the oil of milk. AS
meaus of detection the plan adopted of
weighing the butter produced with a delicate
scale. A table was then complied which showed
the proportion of butter in 100 pounds of milk.
the weight of tine sample being represented in
grains without reducing the butter to oil. The
method tried in COMPARISON with the oil
test. and on several trials the weighing came
nearer to the yieid of the regular churn than did
the oil test At the same time careful chemical
analyses ana . were made in order to verify
that the cows varied the of
fat 6o- 100 of a pound in hundred pounds of
milk in twenty-four hours. The experiments
show that there is too much variation in each
cows product daily to accept a single test in
dicative of it's qualifications. and that the oil
test, as at present in use, requires the applica-
ton of some method by which every drop of
water be driven off before it can be ac-
cepted giving correct measurement of the
amount of butter-fat in milk. The value of the
experiments cannot be overestimated as the oil
test is extensively used to assist in determining
the quality of the milk and butter of certain
cows with high records. After al. however, it
seems as if the competitors must return to- the
churning and weighing process. using only the
butter itself. until some safe mode shall have
been discovered in place of simply guessing at
the amount of oil in the milk.
